How our party fish and chip van works in Totland
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. Typical bookings include family celebrations after a christening and milestone birthdays, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For a party in Totland, home is frequently the best venue. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we will bring everything else. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
FAQs for Totland
Can you serve near the sea around Totland?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you serve after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Parties in Totland: homes, halls and local tips
Totland is about 5 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Bookings in Totland come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Totland is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 18 miles away.
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Christ Church, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. Near the coast, within about a mile, a fish and chip van feels like a trip to the seaside, and we always plan for wind.
We serve parties across PO39 and PO40 and the streets around it. Local streets include Meadow Barn Close, Ward Road and Weston Road; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. You will find Totland on the B3322, which makes the journey straightforward.

Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (11 miles east), Cowes (12 miles north-east), East Cowes (12 miles north-east), Barton (11 miles east), Hunny Hill (11 miles east) and Cross Lane (11 miles east). Some remote sites need extra planning, so ask early about your party.

Where the van can park in Totland
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A short walk from the party
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear area by the serving hatch
For somewhere as remote as Totland, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.

What happens on the day
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Sunset in Totland drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 4:05pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
